Across the street the river runs.

Down in the guter life is slipping away.

Let me still exist in another place,

Running down under cover

Of a helicopter blade.

The flames are getting higher

In effigy.

Burning down the bridges of my memory.

Love may still alive

somewhere someday

where they're downing only deer

a hundred steel towns away.

Oh, rhythm of my heart

is beating like a drum

with the words "I Love you"

rolling off my tongue.

No never will I roam,

for I know my place is home.

Where the ocean meets the sky,

I'll be sailing.

Photographs and kerosene

light up my darkness,

light it up,

light it up.

I can still feel the touch

of your thin blue jeans.

Running down the alley,

I've got my eyes all over you, baby.

Oh, baby.

Oh, the rhythm of my heart

is beating like a drum

with the words "I Love you"

rolling off my tongue.

No never will I roam,

for I know my place is home.

Where the ocean meets the sky,

I'll be sailing.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, I've got lightning in my veins,

shifting like the handle

of a slot machine.

Love may still exist

in another place.

I'm just yanking back the handle,

no expression on my face.

Oh, the rhythm of my heart

is beating like a drum

with the words "I Love you"

rolling off my tongue.

No never will I roam,

for I know my place is home.

Where the ocean meets the sky,

I'll be sailing.

Oh, the rhythm of my heart

is beating like a drum

with the words "I Love you"

rolling off my tongue.

No never will I roam,

for I know my place is home.

Where the ocean meets the sky,

I'll be sailing.

The rhythm of my heart

is beating like a drum

with the words "I Love you" rolling off my tongue.

No never will I roam,

for I know my place is home.

Where the ocean meets the sky,

I'll be sailing
